The late great (and sorely missed) Blake Snyder argued that the terms that we know as “genre”- those of fantasy, science fiction, mystery and the like- are poorly chosen. There are, after all many different kinds of horrors stories, westerns, even romance stories, and often they intersect with each other.

One example, is Monster in the House in which Blake Snyder argues quite effectively that Jaws, Alien, and Cable Guy are all the same genre.

Take a moment to think about audio plays/radio drama. Certainly, there are crossroads with the movie genres that Blake Snyder identifies. But the question remains, are there genres you’ll only find in the audio drama medium?
